Business - Frustrating Wordpress

Have been trying to solve problem building my website. I just wanted to put a main image on my main page, but can't seem to do it.

But along the way, I learnt some new things too.

Favicon is a small image that will be displayed inside the tab of your website.

728 - Recap

My Forex recently caught my eye again. It is back to 700+ range. Currently, my business is taking a halt, as there is a long holiday in China called the Golden Week. And I am unable to get a sample of my product. For the time being, I will just spend my time reading books, hopefully it helps for my job interview.

Even though I have been focusing on my business recently, I still take the effort to monitor the trades everyday. Below are the methods I am currently more used to in Forex trading.

• Strategy is the same, Support and Resistance breakouts. 
• To enter the trade, set Stop above or below the zones.
• The way to plant a Stop Loss when you enter the trade, is to visualize it going down and reviving again.
• Monitor all trades daily, looking for opportunities and also adjusting current trades, if necessary.
• Same theory for adjusting current trades also, use visualization  to imagining it taking a dip, and reviving again. If it goes beyond what you imagined, then there is a chance that the trade is ready to change course and go against you.

647 - A little homework

Getting bored of Forex, more excited about my business nowadays. But it just takes a bit of my time a day, so I should not be lazy.

After playing Forex for sometime, I am still working on the current strategy. But one thing I might consider doing differently is not to frequently adjust the Stop Loss. Leave it as it is when I first entered the trade. And only re-adjust it when I see it has no more hope of trending anymore.

For now, my homework will be to see the progress of the 3 trades which closed out the previous time due to Stop Loss.

Trades that closed out previously :

NZD/CHF
EUR/AUD
GBP/NZD

Business - Many things done

Got many things done since my last post. Just sent money to China to produce a sample of my product.

Just now was a great relieve for me. I finally solved a problem with my website, thanks to the link below. It has to do with just going to Permalink setting and clicking save changes to refresh the links. Now the links in my website works. No more 404 error!

Also learnt many other new stuff on Wordpress. It is like a cheat to set up website.
To choose theme, just go to Appearance, Themes, Add New Theme, type "business" in search, and just install them!

It is so easy to set up website. But the other more tricky thing I have to learn is to install a Paypal, and also drive up my SEO.

Business - Shopping cart for my webby

Business - Setting up website

Understood a lot more on creating websites.

Firstly, I bought a domain name, which is a website name from Namecheap.com.

After that, I signed up with a web hosting company, iPage. Both these 2 companies offer one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest for their service. I only paid around 10 USD for the name, and 60 USD to host my website for 2 years.

Web hosting company is a server, that is able to store the contents for your website. I need to link the 2 of them up. The way to link them is to go back to Namecheap.com, and set up my Nameserver registration. iPage provides me with an IP address, which I will key in on Namecheap.com.

After that, I can start building up my webpage from iPage.com. And I will be using Wordpress to help me to design my webpage.

Sounds complicating to non-geeks, but it will be easier once you start doing it.

Business - New skills on GIMP

Another very useful stuff I learnt just now.

How to convert certain colors in an image to another color.

1. Click on 'Select by Color tool' (Beside fuzzy tool)
2. Click on the color of the image you want to change
3. Once selected, run your brush all over the image

Another important feature is to convert all white color to Alpha (transparent).

This is very crucial to be able to print pictures onto a color of a cloth.

1. Go to Color, Color to Alpha

Yea~

I really made some good progress with the software, and produced some professional looking jobs. I am excited about my new venture!
